Benefits of technology

[0006]Methods for steering the access technology selection by a mobile device in an overlay Small-Cell and Macro Network, such as UMTS, LTE, CDMA, or WIFI are disclosed. This selection determination is based on the observed, real-time correlated and estimated network congestion, content-awareness, application/service expectations, and other criteria. Methods and procedures to influence network selection or control currently selected networks by propagating real-time correlated and consolidated information on a plurality of Radio Access Te

Embodiment Construction

[0019]The consolidation of Network and User Key Performance Indices (KPIs) and exporting this information to external devices is described in co-pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 13 / 555,787. The KPIs and additional information, such as whether user is inside a densely populated venue, such as a stadium venue or is a stationary user in a RAN Macro Sector in the coverage area near the boundary of a stadium that could have large number of mobile users leaving the stadium at event completion, can be used to influence the selection of alternate networks. For example, according to one embodiment, a stationary user located in an area consuming high bandwidth can be moved to a WLAN outside the stadium, or a user that is determined as an “inside stadium user”, can be moved to a microcell inside the stadium when the corresponding Macro Network is heavily utilized.

Abstract

Methods for steering the access technology selection by a mobile device in an overlay Small-Cell and Macro Network, such as UMTS, LTE, CDMA, or WIFI are disclosed. This selection determination is based on the observed, real-time correlated and estimated network congestion, content-awareness, application/service expectations, and other criteria. Methods and procedures to influence network selection or control currently selected networks by propagating real-time correlated and consolidated information on a plurality of Radio Access Technologies to Access Points, or modifying the list of alternative Radio Access Technologies available at a location using standards defined mechanisms and parameters are identified. Additionally, steering content access and delivery through alternative access technologies, based on anticipated network usage by user's service activation, and the knowledge of the type, state and resource usage of a plurality of access networks when a mobile device connects to multiple access technologies through in-band or out-of-band mechanisms is identified.

Description

[0001]This application is a continuation-in-part of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 13 / 555,787, which claims priority of U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 61 / 510,217, filed Jul. 21, 2011; U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 61 / 561,538, filed Nov. 18, 2011 and U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 61 / 621,031, filed Apr. 6, 2012. This application also claims priority of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 61 / 561,556, filed Nov. 18, 2011. The disclosures of each of these applications are incorporated herein by reference in their entireties.BACKGROUND[0002]A growing number of portable user communication devices, such as laptops, tablets, smart phones, and feature phones, support multiple wireless technologies, such as WIFI, WIMAX and Cellular Wireless Technologies (GSM / SPRS, Edge, HSPA, LTE, CDMA). Within the cellular wireless technology, also known as the Radio Access Network (RAN), provided by a wireless cell operator, there could be multiple technologies...
